5Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
6And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

The name of the last prophet is Elijah
So christians please tell me where is Elijah ???
They will say that Elijah is John

Tell them , but you believe that paul came after John
That means that John is not the last prophet and that God’s revelation didn’t stop.

19Now this was John's testimony when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. 20He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, "I am not the Christ.[g]"
21They asked him, "Then who are you? Are you Elijah?"
He said, "I am not."
"Are you the Prophet?"
He answered, "No."
22Finally they said, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"
23John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, "I am the voice of one calling in the desert, 'Make straight the way for the Lord.' "[h]
24Now some Pharisees who had been sent 25questioned him, "Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

26"When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me

This is the description of Christ to the last prophet ?
I will not say that Muhammad (peace be upon him ) is the last prophet
But please Christians tell me who is the last prophet ?
Who is the Counselor ?
And I have some questions to every Christian who is looking for the right way

12Then the book will be given to the one who is illiterate, saying, "Please read this." And he will say, "I cannot read."
13Then the Lord said,
"Because (S)this people draw near with their words
And honor Me with their lip service,
But they remove their hearts far from Me,And their reverence for Me consists of tradition learned by rote,

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was illiterate. His entire life he never learned to read nor write. The exact circumstances of this first revelation were as follows: It was the habit of Muhammad (peace be upon him) to frequently remove himself from the midst of his fellow Arabs and their heathenistic actions and spend many days secluded in the cave of "Hiraa" in the mountains of Makkah where he would pray to God according to the religion of Abraham (peace be upon him). After many years of this, and having reached the age of forty (610AD), the angel Gabriel suddenly appeared before him and ordered him to "Iqra!" (read, recite, repeat, proclaim). Muhammad (peace be upon him), in his terror thought he was being asked to read, so he stammered: "I am unlettered." The angel Gabriel again ordered him to "Iqra!" Muhammad (peace be upon him) again replied: "I am unlettered." The angel Gabriel now took a firm hold of him and commanded him "Iqraa in the name of Allah who created!". Now Muhammad (peace be upon him) began to understand that he was not being asked to read, but to recite, to repeat. He began to repeat after him, and Gabriel revealed to him the first verses of the Qur'an, those at the beginning of the chapter of Al-Alak(96):
"Read(Iqraa): In the name of your Lord who created, Created man from a clot. Read(Iqraa): And your Lord is the Most Bounteous, Who teaches by the pen, Teaches man that which he knew not." (The noble Qur'an, Al-Alak(96):1-5)
Much even more

The black stone building in macca is the building that was builded by Abraham & his son Ishmael _ The father of arabs

It was the first house built to worship the One God
Mecca is the spot where God sent Hagar and her suckling child to live….. a decade before the birth of Isaac

Genesis 21

15 When the water in the skin was gone, she put the boy under one of the bushes. 16 Then she went off and sat down nearby, about a bowshot away, for she thought, "I cannot watch the boy die." And as she sat there nearby, she began to sob
17 God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, "What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. 18 Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation."
19 Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
20 God was with the boy as he grew up. He lived in the desert and became an archer. 21 While he was living in the Desert of Paran

The black stoned building in Mecca is called the Kaaba and it is located right beside the miraculous water well.
Muslim men and women can worship anywhere in the Kaaba Mosque complex and drink the Holy water at anytime of the day or night.
Muslims drink from this blessed water well and perform prayers in the holiest of holy places built by Abraham.

THE HOUSE OF BACCA ( MACCA ) IN QURAAN ( HOLY BOOK OF MUSLIMS ) AND IN THE BIBLE

QURAAN _AMIRAMITES
3:96 The first house established for the people is the one in Bacca; a blessed beacon for all the people.
3:97 In it are clear signs: the station of Abraham. Anyone who enters it shall be granted safe passage. The people owe it to GOD that they shall observe Hajj to this house, when they can afford it. As for those who disbelieve, GOD does not need anyone

BIBLE _ PSALM84

4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house
they are ever praising you
Selah
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you
who have set their hearts on pilgrimage
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it with pools

AS YOU SEE THE BOTH TEXTS EITHER IN QURAAN OR IN BIBLE TALK ABOUT THE SAME THING WHICH IS THE HOUSE PRESENT IN BACCA .. BACCA IS THE OTHER COMMON NAME OF MECCA AND THIS IS THE HOUSE TO WHICH MUSLIMS TRAVEL FOR HAJJ

1At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood.
2And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.

27And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
28And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments

2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

First how did God saw that the light is good after he created it ? don’t he know what he creates before the creation?

So, did it came with him like that by chance ???

Genesis 1 )King James Version)

12And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

How they believe that God created plants before the sun?
Don’t they know anything about biology???

Genesis 1 )King James Version)

14And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

First, if the lights were created on the fourth day with the stars - and this is something normal because the sun and the remaining stars are the source of light – but what has been created in the first day ?????????????

So as we see above that God created the sun and the moon , after creating the earth , and this is against the main concepts in the formation of the elements of the solar system . But according to science, the earth was one part with the sun and then they Separated from each other by big bang

23And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

And here they say that god created man on the seventh day ?

Genesis 2 )King James Version)

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...02&version=KJV2And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
4These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
5And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
6But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 7And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

38And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink. 39And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
